The Ball at Your Feet

"beep!!!!!"

With a whistle, Essien stepped on the ball under his feet, turned his head and grinned at Zhao Yaning who fell on the ground, and stretched out his hand to pull him up.

Zhao Yaning also grinned, but not because he wanted to laugh, but because he was hit by a painful bone.

This guy is too difficult to deal with. Zhao Yaning raised his eyes and looked at Essien, who was gradually running away not far away, and couldn't help cursing in his heart.

It's not that Zhao Yaning has never encountered a good midfielder. In fact, in the Ligue 1 league, the most indispensable is a good midfielder. But even in the outstanding midfielder group, Essien is also the most outstanding one.

And what makes Zhao Yaning feel uncomfortable is Essien's defensive strategy.

"In this game, Bastia players led by Essien frequently fouled Zhao Yaning. This is not the first time Essien has hit Zhao Yaning. He has not been late for the yellow card so far, and the referee's penalty criteria are not very strict. "

The commentator commented on the situation on the field. "The main attack point of Monaco in this game is obviously Zhao Yaning. We can see that he has taken the ball many times in the game. But Essien's restrictions on Zhao Yaning are very good, and he relies on it. Constant fouls, constant physical contact, and constant collisions prevented Zhao Yaning from exerting his technical advantages. Obviously, this idea was correct. Zhao Yaning was greatly disturbed by his collision and could not give play to his speed advantage. Entanglement is very unfavorable for Zhao Yaning."

In this case, Zhao Yaning could feel it as the narrator saw it.

Essien’s defensive strategy is to constantly collide with Zhao Yaning. He is almost two laps stronger than Zhao Yaning, and every collision will make it difficult for Zhao Yaning to maintain his balance, and the dribbling movement will naturally be interrupted.

The referee has his own reasons for not paying the card. Although Essien's collision was very severe and sporadic fouls were never broken, he never made a blind push or a vicious foul from beginning to end. Every time he hits, although violent, there are basically no particularly excessive foul actions. Under such actions, the referee can't show him a yellow card. Although the referee had warned Essien to pay attention to his actions three times during the game, Essien still didn't care and still played with his own style of play.

This guy must know his way of playing. Zhao Yaning pondered inwardly. In the first half of the season, he was entangled in the toughest games that he did not play very well. This defensive strategy is effective for him and has gradually been known in the league. Therefore, it is not surprising that Essien used this method to deal with him.

Zhao Yaning is not good at playing the ball quickly under interference and dealing with other people's pressing. His method is to protect the ball, pass or turn around and pass back. Essien’s method of playing is to deliberately not give Zhao Yaning room to play. Every time he presses tightly, he will foul decisively when Zhao Yaning wants to pass. This kind of play really makes Zhao Yaning very uncomfortable. of.

This is not only to bully Zhao Yaning's lack of muscle strength, but also to bully Zhao Yaning's character that he dares not take risks when he is dealing with a strong enemy. Zhao Yaning was reluctant to admit this before, but now he has to face this problem. Compared to the fact that the muscles can't fight each other, the character problems make him feel more unbearable.

I can change, Zhao Yaning kept talking in his heart.

And what makes Zhao Yaning even more secretly anxious is that Essien’s kicking method is almost always fighting muscles and exhausting. Essien has strong enough muscles and excellent physical strength to consume, but Zhao Yaning does not. If this entanglement with Essien continues in this way, Zhao Yaning's physical strength will be lost too quickly, and nothing will be done in the end.

If this doesn't work, you have to think of a way to get past him. Zhao Yaning secretly made plans in his heart. Since he was going to come over to the main attack in this game, he couldn't hand it over in such a wasteful manner.

The strong guy was fierce and fierce, and also had this very good strength and technique... Zhao Yaning thought to pay attention to him, and at the same time stretched out his hand to get the ball to his feet.

Essien immediately rushed towards Zhao Yaning.

Keep calm, then, turn around!

When Zhao Yaning was running, he suddenly left his foot for a moment, then pulled the ball backwards with his right foot and circled a half circle, and then when he held Essien behind his back, his right foot stood firm and the ball was held on the back of his left foot. With a wave, he walked around Essien.

After a beautiful Marseille maneuver, Zhao Yaning put Eshinka behind him. At this time, he didn’t care that Essien was still pulling his jersey behind him, stepped out suddenly, and then passed the ball to the penalty area with one kick. inside.

The chance that finally appeared made the fans burst into applause in an instant, but the opponent's goalkeeper greeted him decisively, punching eight **** out of the penalty area.

Jiuli made a fill shot from outside the penalty area, but missed the goal.

There was applause on the court, and Zhao Yaning was thankful that he had made the right choice at this time.

There is too much difference between his own strength and his opponent, and the difference between explosive power and speed is not far. If you still use the positive skills, then the most likely thing is that you are blocked by your opponent. There is no way for you to pass it, and you will be hit hard by your opponent, which is not worthwhile.

But if you use the back movement, Essien has already ruined the impression from the referee because of the non-stop fouls in the previous period. If he fouls himself when his back is facing him, then he must not escape the yellow card.

Moreover, his defensive routines are used to take the initiative to grab, the skill that is easy to use in passive situations such as the Marseille maneuver, just can deal with him.

Zhao Yaning is not Zidane. He does not have the rhythm of Zidane's use of the Marseille maneuver as an active skill. Therefore, after arriving in Monaco, coach Petit will not let him use the Marseille maneuver again. But with the improvement and proficiency of his skills, coupled with Ronaldinho's continuous inspiration of himself in the space, Zhao Yaning's excellence has begun to become more and more liberalized.

"You did a good job just now." Essien didn't forget to compliment him when he ran past him while opening the goal. "But it worked well that time."

Zhao Yaning glanced at him, ignoring his provocation.

The game continued, and when the ball reached Zhao Yaning's feet again, Zhao Yaning ran forward two steps, lowered the speed, and made two cycling moves, waiting for Essien to approach, and as soon as Essien approached, he It's another pull ball, ready to turn around.

Essien took advantage of this moment and took a big step backwards. He was already much bigger than Zhao Yaning. After taking a step back, he basically got stuck at all angles after Zhao Yaning turned around. Zhao Yaning He stopped halfway through his action abruptly. He passed the ball to the mid-length Cisse. When he turned his head, he saw Essien's triumphant smile.

This muscular man! Zhao Yaning cursed fiercely. What is this guy's muscles made of? At this speed, he can stop and close quickly, and his flexibility is no less than that of an excellent offensive player. Such a defender is too troublesome.

"In fact, at this time, Zhao Yaning should consider how to move without the ball. In the face of Essien's fast, large coverage, and strong defensive midfielder, a forced breakthrough is the last choice. If you use more It might be better if you play mid-to-long passes and wide-range transfers."

Monaco does not know this truth. Deschamps thought of this approach before the game. But it is rare that Zhao Yaning suddenly wanted to dominate the game by himself, and Deschamps couldn't bear to refute his ideas, so he decided to take a look first.

Now, although the entanglement between Zhao Yaning and Essien did not prevail, Deschamps still felt that Zhao Yaning had changed a lot.

"Playing is more free and easy, and the breakthrough is more decisive." Deschamps secretly commented on Zhao Yaning's changes. "The mental outlook has indeed undergone some changes, but technically speaking, it seems that it is not that stereotyped."

Maybe it is a good thing.

The ball reached Zhao Yaning's feet again, Zhao Yaning took the ball with his back, and when he turned around, Essien had already jumped over. Zhao Yaning pulled the ball back again and turned his body to the right.

"It's useless!" Essien yelled, and immediately got stuck in position.

However, Zhao Yaning did not complete the second half of the Marseille maneuver~www.ltnovel.com~ After a 180° turn, Zhao Yaning's back heel suddenly knocked the football, and at the same time, he suddenly turned to the left and passed by Essien.

When Essien reacted to what happened, Zhao Yaning had already finished a ball pass and left him behind.

"Nice action! Zhao Yaning swayed Essien with an imaginative action, and now he is in the penalty area. What is he going to do? Swing, kick, shoot! Oh, unfortunately he missed the shot."

The shot drew another applause, but Zhao Yaning looked at the missed ball and shook his head dissatisfiedly before retreating.

Seeing that the first half of the game was about to end, but the delay in opening the opponent's door made Zhao Yaning a little impatient.

"It's a pity that I didn't seize the opportunity." Essien saw his emotions, and he didn't forget to come over and tease him, "For you, there are not many opportunities to get rid of me."

"I still have one dozen of such extraordinary moves." Zhao Yaning also said.

This surprised Essien, "I thought you were dumb, you can even talk."

"Is it because you haven't seen me speak on the information you collected? That's because their level is too low. And you are different. You are a master and deserve to be taken seriously by me."

Looking at Essien with awe-inspiring expression, Zhao Yaning sighed while people were not paying attention. This is probably what teammates are talking about psychological warfare, right? But this kind of nonsense is really boring.

But no matter how boring, you have to stick to it. Zhao Yaning thought of Mr. Loyle's words in his heart. Persevering in doing what you don't want to do is the best way to change your personality.

If you really want to be the amazing person you want, then you have to stick to it. I need to grow, not only in football skills, but also in all aspects.
